The reindeer part 1

2013-03-06. Happy me with the kick sled by a white reindeer.
2013-03-06. The reindeer came already today. This was not annouced. But I think the Sami want to let the reindeer get uses at the area while there were not so many people.
2013-03-06. I took the pictures of the reindeer in the pasture with the telephoto lens.

2013-03-06. This reindeer was not in a pasture. It was tied by a tree.
2013-03-06. There were 3 more reindeer tied on trees. You can see two of them on this picture.
2013-03-06. This reindeer has no antlers. A reindeer loose his antlers once a year. That's why you also see reindeer without antlers. The white little reindeer, who is on my picture had just lost his antlers. There will grow new antlers on the reindeeer again.
2013-03-06. The reindeer eat lichen. Here the reindeer tried to eat from the bag. But he could not reach the food.
2013-03-06. There were 6 reindeer. All were males. But I did not get all 6 on the same picture.
2013-03-06. The reindeer named Bob.
2013-03-06. The white reindeer looks so sweet.

2013-03-06. Here the reindeer is eating lichen. You can also give the reindeer concentrated feed (fodder) or hay, but they can't eat of this too much. The stomach of a reindeer is made for eating lichen.
2013-03-06. The reindeer and my kick sled.

2013-03-06. I went to the North Sami House. There is an iron race that burns with firewood.
2013-03-06. The man hade boiled coffee on the iron range.
2013-03-06. I got some coffee. It was good to get some warm coffee because it was cold outside.
2013-03-06. The reindeer were lying down.
2013-03-06. The South Sami Kåta (house). The Sami had lit a fire. In this house the fireplace is in the middle. The Sami had placed the Thunderstorm God beside the kåta.
2013-03-06. The wooden reindeer.
2013-03-06. Real reindeer.
2013-03-06. They put out marks you should follow to the Sami houses.
2013-03-06.
2013-03-06. Time to go home. But the next day I should visit the reindeer again.
